Effect of rhizobacteria A. brasilense and B. circulans on yield, quality and phytopathology status of grain crops under growing on eroded soils

Abstract

Testing of monoinoculants (A. brasilense, B. circulans) and binary inoculant (A. brasilense + B. circulans) in field experiment on eroded sod-podzolic soils for grain crops growing (winter wheat, spring barley, winter rye and winter triticale) revealed some regularities of their action. It was found that sow treatment is effective technique of rhizobacteria application for spring and winter grain crops. Mono- and binary inoculation provided effective biological control of plant’s root infections and resulted in the increase of grain yields and grain’s quality. As a rule the inoculation efficiency on eroded soils exceeded that on watershed. Binary inoculation was more effective technique compared application of rhizobacteria monoinoculants.
